Effective Lotions

[Kevinito]

Hello everyone!

What brand of lotion works for you? I've tried countless natural brands (including oatmeal variants, Mother of all Creams, etc.) and every single one feels like a chemical burn for about an hour after applying.

Thoughts?

Hi Kevin I just use a good quality virgin coconut oil to moisturise and I find it soothing and moisturises well

I'm with Jim the only natural that will help is Coconut Oil

All the others are either going to cost you a lot of money, or could even be not what you think they are. Example Zudaifu cream - does it contain steroids?

But at the end of the day no lotion or cream is ever going to manage it.

There was a guy in Australia Fred who used to sell rabbit poo as a health supplement. That pretty much sums up my opinion.

There are probably people who would say it's great too Bill.

One should not only be careful of the scams, but also the reviews that go with them.

Hi Kevinito
It all depends what you mean by lotions.
If it's medication to clear plaques then non have ever made any real impact on me. And I have 2 carrier bags full of useless medication to prove it.

If it's moisturizer then I agree with the clan a good quality virgin coconut oil is the best. Now there is always a but and here is mine. Although I would prefer to use coconut, I actually use Cetraben as I often get up in the dark it is so much easier to apply blind. For night time and the occasional shower during bad flair ups I use Dermol as it doesn't stop great like the others

Not a natural lotion; but I tend to react bad to coconut oil. Even the organic cold pressed ones in a glass jar.

My holy grail is vaseline intensive care advanced repair. Not natural at all but it keeps my skin moisturised for several days. I still use it although my skin is clear, but before it was clear, it definitely helped with the itching, just not with the P itself.

I’m with Maryam, coconut oil makes me itch and sting. I like creams with high levels of nut butters and oils, and little or no water content. Vaseline is fine, don’t seem to react to that. I also find sudocrem (the tub not the tube) very good for calming the itch but it is messy.

Like John I use Cetraben and i find that it's not bad at all though I have used coconut oil which is also good.
